Phoenix Dance Theatre Presents
DECLARATIONS Works by Warren Adams, Aletta Collins, Isira Makuloluwe and Philip Taylor
Internationally renowned dance company Phoenix Dance Theatre open their new tour at Liverpool Playhouse with this world première, featuring four unique pieces of dance. With a live microphone at its heart, Aletta Collins’ Maybe Yes Maybe, Maybe No Maybe blends movement and voices to create a fresh, witty piece. In Isira Makuloluwe’s Locked in Vertical, dancers coil and turn their way through a breathtakingly fluid new work. Inspired by the words of Barack Obama, Warren Adams’ The Audacious One is packed with tense, political intrigue. The bill is completed by a welcome return to the stage for Philip Taylor’s atmospheric Haunted Passages. “A sleek dancing machine” Daily Telegraph, 2008 4

Northern Broadsides Presents
THE GAME By Harold Brighouse
(Author of Hobson’s Choice) Directed by Barrie Rutter
Lancashire. 1913. Match Day! Blackton Rovers is in need of money. Owner, Austin Whitworth, sells his star centre forward – local football hero Jack Metherell – to a rival club on the eve of a crucial match that could see Rovers relegated to the 2nd Division. Will honest Jack do Austin’s bidding when asked to throw the match? Or will he put his professional honour above loyalty to his old club? From the halcyon days of professional football where players were working class heroes and people were supposed to ‘know their place’ comes a spirited comedy that combines broad northern humour with the passion, pride, prejudice and principles of two football families. Northern Broadsides make a welcome return to Liverpool for the third time this year following Medea and The Canterbury Tales.

kim cattrall “Eternity was in our lips and eyes” Two civilizations are torn apart by the force of history’s most enduring love story. Renowned actress and director Janet Suzman directs a remarkable cast in Shakespeare’s epic tragedy of passion and power. Kim Cattrall returns to her birthplace to play Cleopatra, one of the greatest roles in the Shakespearean canon, opposite Jeffery Kissoon as the once great warrior, Antony. As East meets West, honour and desire collide in a sweeping tale of war, intrigue and passion. The story of a love that destroys an empire, Antony and Cleopatra is served by an extraordinary company that will bring Shakespeare’s kaleidoscopic vision and breathtaking poetry to stunning realisation.

HIT ME! THE LIFE AND RHYMES OF IAN DURY By Jeff Merrifield
A MAN WITH NO MORE ROLLS “Sheffield’s finest synthesizer player and twaddle talker” (Daily Telegraph) decides it’s time to instruct the Nation in moral matters.
This warts-and-all portrait of the Blockheads’ lead singer explores the highs and lows of Ian Dury’s extraordinary career and inspirational life story. Featuring many of his best songs performed live, including Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick and Reasons To Be Cheerful. Publicly, Ian Dury was a cheeky chappie and purveyor of saucy lyrics. Privately, he was a flawed maestro wrestling with demons and disability. This brilliant drama sees him reunited with his tour manager and friend Fred ‘Spider’ Rowe, blending amazing music with powerful scenes exploring Dury’s incredible triumph over adversity.

Britain is in serious moral decline: dwindling church attendances, binge drinking in City centres, the MPs’ expenses scandal and fat cat bonuses, the continued destruction of the environment despite global warming, and most recently, the theft of a box of slug pellets and weed killer from John’s shed.

THE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL PANTO In the Kingdom of Aigburth, in the days of olde, An epic tale was about to unfold. When to the King and Queen a babe t’was born, They threw a great party on the palace lawn! They invited the world but forgot just one, And that’s when their nightmare had truly begun. The forgotten fairy was dementedly miffed, And roared his wrath as he delivered his gift! “On her eighteenth birthday she’d prick her finger! Fade away and no longer linger!” It’s shocking! It’s rocking! It’s incredibly cool! But for this baby shower bring a cagoule! Slip on your spandex, shake ya booty, And help change the fate of Sleeping Beauty!!

THU 2 DEC TO SAT 15 JAN 2011
The Everyman Theatre on Hope Street opened in 1964 and has been home to some of the most inspiring, urgent, enjoyable and socially aware theatre of the last five decades. The building itself has changed many times; from chapel to cinema, boxing arena to theatre space. It once had a circle, a space for youth theatre and for building sets; now it is just what you see and it’s in a bad state of repair (despite our best efforts). Now we are poised to build a new Everyman – a vibrant creative hub fit for this uniquely cultural city in the 21st century. The Essential Ingredients
We have been listening to our audiences, our staff, and the actors, writers, directors and designers of the past, present and future to find out what makes the Everyman so special. Developed and designed by prominent theatre architects Haworth Tompkins, the building will provide new incarnations of the Everyman’s dynamic and inclusive 400-seat ‘thrust’ stage auditorium, legendary basement Bistro and iconic Everyman sign.
24
More Space
We have bought back the theatre and acquired the site next door, giving us space to accommodate vital facilities the Everyman currently lacks, many of which will also serve the Playhouse. These will include a Youth and Community space for the theatres’ vast and growing work with our Youth Theatre, education and community groups; rehearsal space, workshops and offices for production staff; and a ‘hub’ for writers to develop their work.
Welcoming and Accessible
The new Everyman will have a more open and welcoming street presence, a new pavement café, a first floor theatre bar with balcony over Hope Street, and of course the well-loved Everyman Bistro. There will be excellent access throughout the whole building for disabled people, and we hope that everyone whatever their need or background will feel welcome.
Greener and Sustainable
The new theatre incorporates a number of low energy strategies, including plenty of natural light and a natural ventilation system.
0151 709 4776 WWW.EVERYMAN PLAYHOUSE.COM
How Will it Look?
The building will be constructed of red brick with a new glass frontage. At first floor level there will be a full-length balcony and a new 21st century version of the current iconic sign. Above this will be a beautiful façade comprising 105 life-sized, abstracted portraits of Liverpool people transferred onto cut aluminum shutters, a physical representation of the community to which the Everyman has always belonged.
26
What Happens Next?
Our Planning Application has been submitted to Liverpool City Council for consideration over the coming months. Meanwhile we’d like to know what you think. Join one of our backstage tours and presentations, or call by for a cup of tea and a chat at one of our drop-in sessions during July and August, further details are available on our website.

Don’t Forget, Still to Come this Summer… Summerscape
August As well as our tours and drop in sessions at the Everyman every Friday (see page 28) there will be backstage tours at the Playhouse (subject to our programme of essential repairs); plus face-painting and storytelling in Sleeping Beauty’s bedroom. Check with Box Office or visit our website for details.
AfroReggae in Residence
26 July to 21 August Fresh from the favelas of Brazil, we are hosting ten AfroReggae artists for a month-long residency this summer. Working in some of the most violent neighbourhoods in the world, their work has changed lives, provided employment and built strong partnerships with police. Now they share their experiences, music and street arts skills with 15-19 year-olds from across our City. You are welcome to join in a range of community sharing events as well as two public performances: Saturday 7 August in Williamson Square. Saturday 21 August at the Out of the Blue Music Festival in Everton Park. 42
For a full programme contact a.beed@everymanplayhouse.com and find out more on our website. The visit from AfroReggae is presented in partnership with Liverpool NHS Primary Care Trust and Liverpool City Council and is part of 2010 Year of Health and Wellbeing. For more information visit www.2010healthand wellbeing.org.uk.
